Lufthansa upgrades entertainment options

Lufthansa passengers will have even more varied ways to enjoy the world of film and
music as of 1st May. For the long-haul routes that means even greater freedom of
choice, entertainment on call and a wider range of possibilities for making the stay
on board more diversified and entertaining. Cinema fans will have a choice of action
movies, comedies and thrillers, the lover of symphonic music will be able to enjoy
the complete work, while fans of the spoken word can brush up on the local idioms in
their destination country or become engrossed in an audio book. “With the extension
to our entertainment programme, our passengers benefit from a considerably improved
programme quality and variety on long-distance routes”, says Thierry Antinori,
Executive Vice-president Marketing and Sales of Lufthansa German Airlines. “Thanks
to a new technology the passenger can decide when he wants to see which film and can
thus arrange his own entertainment programme”.

First and Business Class passengers have access to an even more comprehensive
entertainment programme on board with the extended Lufthansa Media World. The four
categories of WatchEnjoy, ListenRelax, StudyPlay and SurfLufthansa are individually
accessible via the personal monitor at every seat. The video programme alone has
been extended from 20 on 65 video options with 30 movies in up to eight languages,
25 TV programmes and ten music magazines from all over the world. There is a choice
of 100 CDs, diverse audio books, 24 radio programmes with numerous international
channels, skill, action, board and strategy games as well as language courses. The
latest movie releases, Oscar-winning masterpieces, popular TV series and sitcoms,
exciting documentaries and sports events are just as much a part of the varied offer
as soundtracks, rock and pop, classical music, blues, country, or world music. In
addition, the entertainment programme offers a comprehensive Lufthansa sector with
more information about the airline - from the company’s history via details of the
fleet right through to the frequent flyer program Miles & More.

Would you like to watch the big scene of your favourite film over and over again? Or
experience the surprising finish to your audio book once again? With the
Entertainment-on-Demand function, the passenger can decide for himself what is
played and is his own programme chief. The easy-to-operate user interface currently
offers the passengers six different navigation languages (German, English, French,
Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.) Economy-Class guests have the possibility of
choosing between 24 radio programmes and watching their movie in up to four
languages.

In the First and Business Classes, each passenger receives the programme which is
published monthly and includes comprehensive information about the complete current
programme of Lufthansa Media World. More than half of the long-distance fleet has
already been equipped with the extended entertainment programme Lufthansa Media
World. The current programme can also be found at www.lufthansa.com.
